A woman and her young son have been killed after falling from rocks.
The pair were at Haytor on Dartmoor, near Newton Abbot in Devon, when the accident happened earlier. Dartmoor National Park Authority said it was "a major incident".
Haytor, which is more than 450m (1,475ft) high, is one of Dartmoor's most famous landmarks and is popular with walkers and climbers.
The public are being advised to avoid the area.
'Potential for accidents'
An air ambulance, a police helicopter and members of the Dartmoor Rescue Group were initially called to the scene at about 11:50 BST, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
Mike Nendick, from the Dartmoor National Park Authority, said although there have been accidents at Haytor, they were "not commonplace".
He said: "When you have an attractive landscape, whether it's on the coast or moors, it attracts people. There's always the potential for accidents.
"It wouldn't be appropriate to comment on the accident today. But we would urge members of the public to wear sensible footwear and consider weather conditions when walking on the moors."
